They were flooring it from the moment the ball was inbounded in the second half. I can't think of a team recently that has done this in the first 4 games - 2016 'Nova comes close, but jfc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Actually '09 Carolina is probably the best comparison - they won every game by double-digits en route to a championship. Pretty much wall-to-wall domination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Not for our region, but the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded central and southern Mississippi and Alabama to a Moderate Risk of tornadoes for this afternoon and tonight. And the KMXX radar is down for major upgrades on the east side of the Moderate risk zone near Montgomery/Auburn Alabama. What a change from a few days ago and a marginal risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I've said it before tonight BUT PALISADES IS GETTING POUNDED by snows right NOW!!!!! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams Check out the Siberia cam and the High Camp cams!!!!!! Snow is POURING DOWN, and it is BLOWING AROUND! I WUB those western ski resorts so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so frackin' CRAZY about the deep snow at the high western ski resorts, that I would willingly sell my soul, in order to spend a MONTH at a place like Alta, Utah or especially MAMMOTH! There just is not enough snow, NEVER EVER enough snow in weathafella land, to ever sate my insane snow needs! I require dangerous avalanches, perilous roofalanches and those beautiful cornices that hang SIX FEET off roofs! I crave INTERLODGE, too! HERE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE of why I worship the Sierra mountain communities so damn much! This video is my very heart! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also - real city driving requires 100% focus. The number of folks driving in DC proper I see on their phones is just astounding. You have to be paying attention to everything - all the other vehicles (where they might stop suddenly for no apparent reason), pedestrians, bikes, delivery trucks, emergency vehicles, buses, etc etc. This is what truly scares the crap out of me...we took a day trip on Saturday, and I was astounded at how many folks ON THE INTERSTATES were weaving/bobbing on the road, and (no surprise) were head-down on their damn phones. I'm somewhat guilty in this regard, but FFS, if I have to take a call I'll do so through my car's Bluetooth connection to stay focused on the road, and if I'm THAT compelled to answer a text I'll DICTATE it via Google Assistant. I'm truly surprised there aren't more accidents. On 3/25/2023 at 12:26 AM, Always in Zugzwang said: To @vastateofmind...wishing you Happy Birthday, from a fellow March 25th-er!! Not sure about you, but strangely, I've found my birthday to be either kind or cruel some years. March in general seems to be that way to me. Something fun or good that day, or something unpleasant or downright awful. Kind of a strange contrast! On the lousy end, I've had chicken pox over my birthday, I have been mugged on that day (still a very vivid memory), and I saw Purdue (in 1988) get knocked out of the tournament in a year they were widely thought to go to the Final 4! But...I've had some very fun times with friends and family that I also remember, people who helped make it a good day for me, took me out, etc. I guess because of all that, I have always felt that everyone should be entitled to enjoy something special or fun on their birthday. Doesn't have to be anything big, but just to have a great day! So...have a great birthday and a fun time for yourself! Thank you @Always in Zugzwang for the common b'day wish -- you always remember! -- and TY to others for the well wishes. I can honestly say that most of my birthdays have not been as memorable as some of yours, with the exception of when we were out of town, four hours away, for my birthday seven years ago...and I got the call early that morning from the vet/kennel where our 10-year old Labrador retriever was boarding. He had developed stomach bloat overnight, and it had become so severe that there was no viable options to comfortably extend his life beyond that. He was sedated but in a lot of agony...and I had to make the long-distance/remote decision to have the vet euthanize our four-legged friend. To keep him alive for another four hours so we could be there would've been agonizing for him, and as much as we loved him and wanted to say goodbye, I couldn't put him through that. Thank heaven, we had a wonderful neighbor who was great friends with him, who went to the vet to be with him while he slipped away. Worst...birthday...ever.

It's all about how the music makes you FEEL and snow and emotions. I am SOOOOOOOO head over heels in LOVE with western ski resorts! That music, makes me feel even happier about it! THEY ARE GONNA GET PLASTERED WITH TWO MORE FEET OF SNOW! I am going back to full on crazy about weather, I even wub the FLOODS in California! You Tube is chock FULL of snow vids, flood vids in California!!! I have lost so many HOURS lost in wonder over all the deep deep snow in the Sierra and all the wonderful mudslides and the incredible flooding! They said that Lake Mead is gonna bring record flooding this spring! I want even MORE heavy torrential snows in the Sierra! We have got to make sure California has enough water this year. It's so DRY there! I never ever get enough Sierran snows! Enough, with me, is never ever enough! I'll be blasting Cetera songs while I feast on all the wonderful avalanches, roofalanches, mudslides and all the flooding, likely the WORST since we first settled the West!!! It helps to realize something about me: I worship snow, to the TOTAL EXCLUSION of everything else and everyone else! I dont give a flip about anything on earth except torrential snows! That's why I am pulling for a total cessation of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, (AMOC). I crave The Day After Tomorrow, FOR REAL! Something I forgot to mention here: I just wub the plight of the ski resorts and their BURIED chairlifts! Poor Tahoe and their KT-22 lift! Every time they get significant snow, like they are getting now, they have to dig out the KT-22 chairlift BY HAND, using Jebman shovels! I always get a good laugh out of this! There's gonna be a LOT of digging out this weekend, becuase they got that wintergrass festival comin up! They will likely need all five hands up on deck to clean the High Camp platform again! I wish I could go up there and dig out the 8200' level platform all by myself! I'd show them how to dig snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 THE VERY LATEST FROM RENO NWS!!! 000 FXUS65 KREV 282152 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 252 PM PDT Tue Mar 28 2023 .SYNOPSIS... A late winter storm will bring stronger winds especially for mountain tops, heavy Sierra snowfall, and valley rain or snow showers through tonight. Cold and showery conditions are likely to continue Wednesday, with reduced shower chances Thursday and Friday. It will remain cool into the weekend and beyond with additional chances for precipitation. && .SHORT TERM... Latest radar imagery reveals heavy precipitation spreading north to south as it accompanies a cold front passage associated with a mid- latitude cyclone circulating off the coast of Oregon and California this afternoon. Snowfall rates between 1-2" per hour are likely (>80% chance) through this evening in the Sierra from the Tahoe Basin north, with similar chances through early tomorrow morning for the Sierra in Mono County. Gusty winds, coupled with light snow character, will lead to periods of low visibility due to blowing snow in the Sierra through the evening. The southerly flow with this system will keep far western Nevada largely shadowed, with generally little to no accumulations expected outside of foothill locations. Rain showers are also evident generally along and east of US-95 this afternoon, with high- resolution guidance indicating these showers will intensify and continue to spread eastward tonight. Snow levels are expected to crash well below valley floors following the cold-frontal passage this afternoon, which may lead to travel difficulties for I-80 and US-50 east of US-95 as rain changes to snow after sunset. Through tomorrow morning, expect an additional 2-3 feet of snow along the Sierra crest, 6-12 inches in northeast California west of US-395, 12-18 inches along the Tahoe west shore, 6-12 inches along the Tahoe east shore, and 1-2 feet in the Eastern Sierra west of US-395. I am obviously very happy about this! KT-22 and hundreds of lifts across the Sierran Cordillera will need to be dug out laboriously by hand, while catastrophic snow loading on homes in mountain communities will not spare and will show absolutely NO MERCY. Ski Patrollers who maintain the various lifts and associated shacks will be stressed to well beyond their limits by the admittedly historic snows. This is no time to try and be a hero, but many will attempt the feat, and end up with a badly pulled and overstressed back. People who attempt to walk in the blowing snows will become disorientated and confused and succumb to the heavy snow. It will be very much like what happened in Buffalo NY communities during the November 2022 lake effect snows. They will simply get too cold then fall right over like Luke Skywalker did on Hoth and freeze to death. Strong Pacific storm windfields will pile on more snow, drifting many structures well beyond their engineered limits. The character of the snow is light and fluffy. Strong winds can and will readily pile that snow up. Destructive cornices will develop on many structures. Some will collapse, resulting in beloved roofalanches which will subsequently be documented on YouTube and ravenously enjoyed by yours truly. Roofalanche snow can weigh thousands of pounds. Try not to be there when it lets go. Snow will continue well into the week over the Sierra, bringing gladness to my heart. There will be hundreds of YouTube vids. I'll be in seventh heaven, happily watching every last one of them while blasting Peter Cetera and ELO songs at extremely high volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catoctin wx Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Meteorologist rant / complaint moment. I'm the president of a local baseball little league with 107 players and we have our big opening day ceremony at 9:00 on Saturday. It looks guaranteed that we will have to delay by at least a couple of hours which is a bummer but not the end of the world. The GFS shows the rain ending in Frederick between 10 and 11 which would be fine, we will deal. The NAM-HIRES shows the line coming through around 10 but with a blob of rain after it ending closer to 1, which would suck. The Euro doesn't have the hourly timestep yet. When you are the president of a baseball league planning an event and the success of the day hinges on the difference of a couple of hours, it's really not a great time for people to know you are a meteorologist. The feeling of helplessness is real. /complaint 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
